Efforts on to cover up Puri custodial death: BJP
Puri: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sunday alleged that efforts are on to destroy the evidences with regard to the death of a 32-year-old man at the custody of Baselisahi police here November 18.
Addressing a presser here Sunday, BJP leader and Puri MLA Jayanta Sarangi claimed that police are trying to cover up the custodial death case.
“The then Puri district Superintendent of Police (SP) had narrated a false story and claimed that the victim died due to a scuffle with police. Then IIC of Baselisahi police was directly involved in the custodial death. But, it was shown that the IIC had gone on leave during the incident,” alleged Sarangi.
